Discover Heligoland – dunes and seals

Guided dune tour 2026: Experience harbor seals and gray seals in the wild

A moment in nature that will stay with you forever.
Observe common seals and gray seals from a respectful distance on the Heligoland dunes, accompanied by experienced guides.

When nature suddenly feels very close

Many people travel to Heligoland – and yet only see part of it. The real magic lies just a few minutes away: on the Heligoland dune.

There, gray seals rest in the sand. Seals glide through the North Sea. Wind, vastness, and wildlife merge into a quiet experience that you cannot plan – only experience.

This is exactly where our guided dune tour Heligoland 2026 comes in. Structured. Informative. And with genuine respect for nature.
